To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, LASSLO CHANDOR, of the city of St. Petersburg, in the Russian Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon Burners, (for which patents have been granted to me in England, No. 12,336, dated September 12, 1887 5 in Germany, No. 35,561, dated August 21, 1885; in France, No. 171,032, dated August 30, 1887; in Sweden, No. 51.7, dated December 29, 1887; in Denmark, No. 373, dated December 28, 1887; in Italy, No. 18,885, dated February 27, 1888; in Belgium, No. 70,072, dated January 18, 1888; in AustriaJIungary, Nos. 7,335 and 18,027, dated June 13,1888; in Spain, No. 7,740, dated April 30, 1888, and in Norway, No. 804, dated December 28, 1887,) of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in devices for burning hydrocarbon and other oils and it consists in improvements on the hydrocarbon-burner for which application for United States Letters Patent was filed by me on the 10th of September, 1885, Serial No. 177,601, and refers to special appliances to insure an even and steady flow of air to the two flames, which burn independently of each other, and to avoid the possibility of an explosion or con'l'lagration ensuing by reason of the petroleum or other oil in the reservoir of the apparatus oozing from the air-hole in the upper part of the said reservoir when being carried from place to place, and bcingignited by carelessness or otherwise.

According to the construction 1 described and represented in the specification and drawings accompanying my application for a United States patent, Serial No. 177,601, any gases evolved in the reservoir were led off through a small opening at the upper part of the same. The arrangement proved, however, that if the candlestick were subjected to considerable shaking not only the gases but also the hydrocarbon would escape through the aid opening, accumulate on the plate of the candlestick, and possibly give rise to danger should a burning match be thrown on the same. A further disadvantage found was that the perforations in the outer mantle fed too much air to the fiamc, and especially so when 0rdinaryhydrocarbons are burned in the same, and it was also discovered that by employing a suitable chimney a whiter flame and much quieter light could be obtained. Now in order to avoid these disadvantages I have increased the size of the outer petroleunr reservoir, have filled up the orifice for the admission of air to the said outer reservoir, as shown in my apparatus, Serial No. 177,601, and have substituted for the same a tube running, preferably, within the standards of the matclrbox. holder, so that the same is pro: tected from breakage. This small tube can be fixed to the upper plate of the match-box holder and be left entirely open or can be perforated immediately below the cross-plate of the said match-box holder.

Another most important improvement consists in arranging a small tube in the burner, so as to lead oil? any gases generated in the inner reservoir into the space inclosed by the gauze mantle to the candle.

Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved candlestick or apparatus for burning hydrocarbon and other oils. Fi 2 is a vertical section through the center of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line A B in Fig. 2.

A is the outer and and B the burner.

A the inner reservoir,

G G G are the mantles surrounding the His the matchbox, preferably composed of two standards joined at the top to each other by means of a suitable plate 11. It will be evident that this matclnbox holder can be struck out or cast from one piece of metal and soldered or otherwise attached to the can dlcstick.

I is thesmall tube for leading off the gases from the outer reservoir and allowing the influx of air to the same.

K is the small tube for leading the gases evolved in the inner reservoir A into the space inclosed by the mantles O C C Although I have represented a bulb-like chimney in the drawings, it will be evident to all versed in the art that other forms of chimney can be employed without departing from the nature of my invention, as I make no claim to any special kind of chimney.

In order to fill the reservoirs A A with hydrocarbon or other suitable fluid, the burner B and the parts located above the same are removed and the fluid poured into the reservoir A, from whence the same will flow into the reservoir A, the burner having been removed from the tray and gallery for this purpose. The wick L, having been turned up a proper distance, is ignited and the tray, gallery, and mantles placed over the same. The wick is now turned up farther until the vapor commences to issue from the orifice O in the mantle O. This vapor is ignited and will burn with a steady white flame N.

It will be evident from the foregoing that the vapor arising to be consumed by the sec- 0nd or upper flame consists of the unconsumed gases arising from the inner or lower flame M. This said upper flame can be ignited before the chimney is fitted into the gallery orafter the chimney has been fitted by holding a match over the opening of the same.

In my improved candlestick or apparatus for burning hydrocarbon and other oils I prefer to fix the sheet-metal mantle C to the inner part of the tray F, and to widen the lower end of the porcelain, glass, or other metal outer mantle O in such manner that it will fit into and be firmly held in an annular space of the tray In order that air may be fed immediately to and around the lower frame M, I employ an extra tube L around the wick-sheath L, said tube being connected to the upper part of the burner B, while the wick-sheath is firmly soldered to the bottom of the said burner. The wick is moved up and down, as is customary in petroleum-lamps, by means of a suitable pinion and stem with button.

In candlesticks where no match-box holder is used the tube I can be laid in a suitable cavity in the handle R, or the handle R itself can be hollowed out for this purpose.

Having nowparticularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In combination, the reservoir, the burner secured thereto, the wick-tube extending into said burner, the outer tube L extending upwardly from the burner about the Wick-tube, whereby air is supplied to the flame M, and the vent-tube extending from the inner reservoir entirely through the burner and opening above the same for leading the gas into proximity to said flame, substantially as described.

2. In combination, the reservoir, the burner, the tray F, supported by said burner, the said tray having an outer bearing, the outer mantle supported removably thereby, and said tray also having the inner extension for the inner perforated mantles.

3. In combination, the reservoir, the burner supported thereby, the tray F, removably supported on the burner, and the mantles supported by the said tray, substantially as described.

4. In combination, the reservoir, the burner, the tray F, supported by said burner, the mantles supported by said tray, the said tray being formed with a gallery D, and the chimney supported thereon, substantially as described.

5. In combination, the reservoir, the burner, the tray supported thereby, the chimney, and mantles supported by the tray, said tray being removable, substantially as described.

6. In combination, the reservoir and burner, the imperforate mantle about the wick-tube, extending above the same and open at the top, the space within the said mantle communicating below with the outside air, the chimney about the mantle, with the intermediate air-space, whereby the lower and upper flames are supplied with separate currents of air, substantially as. described.

7. In a candlestick or apparatus for burning hydrocarbon or other oils, the combination of the reservoirsA A, burner B, tray F, gallery D, mantles C O C and chimney E and air-tube I, substantially as and for the purpose set forth and shown.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
